Let X be a set with infinite cardinality. Define Tx = {U ⊆ X : U = Ø or X \ U is finite}. Prove that Tx is a topology on X. (Tx is called the Cofinite Topology or Finite Complement Topology.)
be a set with infinite cardinality .
or \ is finite} .
Defination : A collection of subsets of is said to form a tpology on if it satisfies the following three conditions .
If be an finite collection then
If be an infinite collection then
Now we will prove that the collection or \ } is finite forms a topology on .
by defination of .
Also as \ is a finite set .
Suppose be a finite collection of elements of .
are all finite set .
is a finite set as finite union of finite set is finite.
is a finite set .
suppose be an infinite collection of elements of .
are all finite set .
is a finite set as arbitrary intersection of finite set is finite .
is a finite set .
So satisfies all three conditions to be a topology on Hence the collection or \ is finite } is a topology on
